Irish SaaS Roundup: Seapoint, Apex B2B, Vox Talk, CompuCal

Four Irish software stories worth knowing about this week. Two funding rounds for Dublin startups, one product launch from an established consultancy, and a Cork calibration firm taken out by a US buyer.

Seapoint, Dublin, raises EUR7.5m seed for startup financial ops

Dublin fintech Seapoint closed a EUR7.5m seed round led by 13books, bringing total funding to EUR10m. The company was founded in January 2025 by Sean Mullaney, former European CIO at Stripe, and more than half the team are Stripe alumni.

Seapoint pitches itself as a “financial home” for venture-backed startups: an AI-native business account bundling payroll, expenses, treasury, invoices and reporting, with embedded multi-currency accounts, cards and FX. Any founder in Ireland or the UK can now sign up directly, with no waitlist.

Angel backers include Claire Hughes Johnson (former Stripe COO), Des Traynor (Intercom co-founder), and George Bevis (Tide founder).

Why it matters for Irish SMEs: A Dublin-built alternative to US-first startup banking and expense tools, with the credibility of a Stripe-alum team behind it.

Apex B2B launches from Monsoon Consulting with EUR1.5m

Dublin SaaS company Apex B2B launched publicly on 9 April 2026 after a EUR1.5m investment that includes R&D backing from Enterprise Ireland. The company was incubated inside Monsoon Consulting and soft-launched in December 2025.

Founded by Bharat Sharma, Apex B2B is an AI-enabled commerce platform aimed at mid-market wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers with annual revenue between EUR10m and EUR300m. The pitch: consumer e-commerce tools are too thin for B2B workflows, and traditional enterprise platforms are too heavy.

The company is hiring 15 across product engineering, AI and customer success, and targeting expansion into the UK, wider Europe and the US over five years.

Why it matters for Irish SMEs: A home-grown B2B commerce platform for Irish distributors and manufacturers, with Enterprise Ireland support on the record.

Vox Talk AI closes EUR1.35m pre-seed for alarm monitoring AI

Dublin startup Vox Talk AI raised EUR1.35m in a pre-seed round co-led by Delta Partners and Act Venture Capital, with participation from Enterprise Ireland. The company was founded in April 2025 by Mark Harkin and came out of the NDRC accelerator.

Vox Talk builds voice-AI and computer-vision “AI operators” that work alongside human staff in alarm monitoring centres and CCTV control rooms, handling high-volume inbound and outbound alarm calls across 30+ languages. The funding will accelerate commercial rollout across Europe, the UK and the US.

Angel backers include Ciarán Lee (Intercom co-founder), Jack Pierse (Wayflyer co-founder), Dan Kiely (Voxpro co-founder), Anne Heraty (CPL founder), and former PayPal Europe executive Louise Phelan.

Why it matters for Irish SMEs: A niche vertical-AI company with a clear wedge, backed by a who’s-who of Irish operator-angels. Irish security and monitoring firms get a local AI partner rather than a US import.

US EAM firm Blue Mountain acquires Cork’s CompuCal

Blue Mountain, a US-based GMP-compliant Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software vendor for life sciences, announced the acquisition of Cork-based CompuCal Calibration Solutions on 22 April 2026. Terms were not disclosed.

CompuCal provides calibration and maintenance management software to regulated industries, including pharma and med-tech manufacturing, and has 30+ years of experience with an established base across Ireland, the UK, the DACH region and Nordics. The deal gives Blue Mountain on-the-ground delivery capability in Europe and follows Blue Mountain’s recent investment from Five Arrows, the alternative assets arm of Rothschild & Co.

Why it matters for Irish SMEs: Another Cork software firm exits to a US buyer. Existing CompuCal customers in Irish pharma and manufacturing should watch for product roadmap and support changes under new ownership.
